Note that on the invoicing templates we're publishing here on InvoicingTemplate.com, the term "price" is the money the client / customer pay you for each unit of product / service they purchase; on the other hand, we use the term "cost" for the money you pay to your vendor. In case of selling of goods / materials, "price - cost" results in the gross profit of each unit you sell out. On most of our invoicing formats, you see only the "Price" or "Unit Price" column, because the "Cost" fields are put into a hidden column.

GST is an indirect tax, expressed as a percentage (currently 7%) applied to the selling price of goods and services provided by GST registered business entities in Singapore. As a GST registered entity, you are required to submit a return to the tax authorities based on your accounting cycle, normally on a quarterly basis. GST registration is required only if the company falls under the following: 1) The turnover is more than S$1 million for the past 12 months – known as the retrospective basis –OR- 2) There is a reason to expect that the turnover will exceed S$1 million for the next 12 months – known as the prospective basis.

If you install Invoice Manager for Excel, this process is much easier as our Excel-based invoicing program stores a counter in the backend Access database (or SQL-Server database if you choose the highest edition). When you create invoice by clicking the "Save To DB" on the "Invoice" Excel worksheet, or click the "Save Invoice" command on the taskpane, a new invoice# / bill# is generated automatically if that cell is left blank.
